[PER] марсель пруст и живой журнал

"M. is an unusually Zen teenage boy - dreamy and ruminative about his personal relationships. But his obsessive online habits are hardly exceptional; he is one of a generation of compulsive self-chroniclers, a fleet of juvenile Marcel Prousts gone wild. When he meets a new friend in real life, M. offers them access to his online world.

"That's how you introduce yourself," he said. "It's like, here's my cellphone number, my e-mail, my screen name, oh, and - here's my LiveJournal. Personally, I'd go to that person's LJ before I'd call them or e-mail them or contact them on AIM" - AOL Instant Messenger - "because I would know them better that way."


цитата из небольшой, но очень интересной статьи [Lives lived online, angst and all: Painfully candid Web journals become part of teen culture], про то, чем стало детище фитцпатрика, [livejournal.com profile] avvaы и "им подобных" для подрастающего поколения американской молодёжи :)

узнал про музыкальный стиль "emo" и выражение "social girls". ещё узнал, что мы тут все - juvenile Marcel Prousts gone wild... неясно только, под сенью кого.
